You must live in a more civilized area than around here. For it finally came out a few years back that what was being reported as being evidence of just how many armadillos were heading north splattered on the highways was actually evidence of there being many Lance Armstrong wannabes who weren't fast enough.

Namely because in the overdeveloped suburban sprawl where I live there are a bunch of them and they can back traffic up for miles.<br /><br />As for Lance, something about the guy turned me off from the start.

Oh what a glorious opportunity the good Lord has given all of us around the world to reconsider whom we decide to revere as a hero.<br /><br />How about some heroes like everyday people who have over come unimaginable circumstances and gone on to live happy successful lives? Instead of movie stars, singers and bands, how about our armed forces, diplomats, missionaries, firemen, policemen, EMT workers, Scholars, dedicated teachers ( who work for peanuts and often spend what little money they do make to buy supplies for their class room), DR.'S who donate time to take care of people who cannot afford care, etc.... The list could go on forever and ever.<br /><br />As for me, I have one athlete right now I consider a hero and that is Tebow. I pray that he does not fail and let us all down. <br /><br /><br /><br />In general I am and have been convinced for a long long time that we as a culture are way too quick to idolize and make heroes out of the wrong people. Just because someone becomes famous shouldn't automatically qualify them and put them in the running for being called a hero.<br /><br />After all, there is a difference between being a champion and a hero!!<br /><br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378896151545384221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-66163104754117838132012-10-22T17:33:43.932-05:002012-10-22T17:33:43.932-05:00I don't follow stuff like this so when Wade wa...I don't follow stuff like this so when Wade was telling me about it one day I had no clue what he was talking aboutAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-21353255200713718852012-10-22T09:16:33.409-05:002012-10-22T09:16:33.409-05:00It is, indeed, my dear Tony.
